"You know, there are several legions in the empire." Diego said as he poured himself a second glass of wine. In the bar, a beautiful musician was playing a light dance tune. A few pairs of men and women swayed slowly on the dance floor. Two drunk men wanted to harass the musician, but they were stopped by the strong bartender with a smile. Diego's voice floated over from another world amidst the noise in the bar, "Let's count, Bucks Army, Bear Armor Army, Lion King Army, Giant Dragon Army. Good heavens, there are so many of them. I wonder if you've heard of another army. "
"Shadow Corpse Vulture?"
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Allen said truthfully.
Diego laughed and poured the wine into his mouth, "Not to mention you, I've been with Howson for a long time, but I've never seen it before. People even speculate if there really is such an army. "
"Believe me, there is. It was a unit responsible for gathering intelligence and assassinating, doing some shady business for the royal family. They were divided into several code names, and the Vulture was the most common member. These Hawks and Dogs are scattered in every city of the empire. Their identities may be merchants, mercenaries, farmers, heirs of a declining family, companions of powerful figures, and so on. " Diego blinked and said, "You never know who they really are. Unless it's someone you know, the woman who slept next to you last night might stab a poisonous dagger into your heart tonight."
"That sounds scary."
'"It is indeed scary, because these vultures are all dead warriors, and they are even more crazy. I've heard that they can do anything to accomplish their goals. As far as I know, there is a female vulture who, in order to kill her target, did not know how to plant poison in her body, and then had sex with the other party. In the end, the target died in an unclear manner. For this, that woman also paid with her life. "Diego shook his head and said," Who is the most terrifying person? It's a lunatic who doesn't even care about his own life. "
"Apart from the vultures?"
"Above the vultures, there are Carrion Vultures. They were the leaders of these spies. There were less than ten of them, and each of them had a group of vultures under their command. And among the Rotten Vultures, it was impossible for them to know which spy was under the command of the other leaders. So sometimes, in some missions, there would be situations where people would kill each other. But at the same time, it also ensures that the spies' identities will not be easily exposed. "
"The last one is the Eagle King. This is the head of the entire Shadow Corpse Vulture. But regarding this Eagle King, let alone his name, we don't even know if he's a man or a woman. " Diego paused for a moment and said, "Before I left, a Rotten Vulture and his vultures threw themselves at Howson. I don't know if this was the Eagle King's intention or if this Rotten Vulture acted on its own." But what is certain is that Howson can now see far away and is no longer limited to Oliska. "
"So he saw us?" Allen tapped the table with his hand.
"That's right. How do you think I know that you guys are in Tiger Shark Harbor?" Diego narrowed his eyes. "Because Howson knows you guys are here, he has already ordered the Eagles and Dogs to deal with you. His Majesty the King has a plan that he thinks is perfect. And the key to this plan is that you have a vulture by your side. "
"So you see, His Highness Julian's alliance may not be so unbreakable."
"You know his identity?"
Diego waved his hand. "Please, I'm not a Rotten Vulture. How could I know the identity of the spy? Don't talk about me, Howson doesn't know either. I only know that your team has already planted spies. As for their identities, it's hard to say. Anyway, Howson probably knows what tricks you're going to play. My suggestion is that you'd better change your original plan so that the journey south will be safer and I can return to Earth smoothly. "
"Alright, come with me?"
"Of course, if I weren't by your side, you might suspect that I was the vulture, right?" Diego drank the rest of the wine and slapped down a few silver coins. "I'll treat you," he said with a smile.
Allen shrugged and left the table with Gojoseon.
When they returned to Taylor's house, many people, including Julian, showed hostility when they saw Diego and Allen return. Allen gave a brief explanation and asked Taylor to arrange a room for Diego to stay in. The latter bowed to Julian solemnly and addressed him as Your Majesty, but it made Julian grit his teeth when he saw it. After Diego left, Julian said, "Do you believe him?"
"Of course not, so I need to verify it. Moreover, I need some guarantees." Allen looked at the merchant and said, "Mr. Taylor, do you know any pharmacists?"
Taylor was also a smart man. He immediately understood, "I happen to know one. Not only does he know how to save people, he is also very good at killing people."
"I don't need to kill anyone. I just want to lock our Mr. Diego to make sure that if he lies, he will regret what he did."
"I understand. Then give this mister a slow-acting poison." Taylor smiled and said, "I'll do it now."
Seeing Allen's arrangements, Julian felt a little relieved. Then he frowned and said, "If what Diego said is true, which one of us is a spy?"
"I'm not sure, but we can find out."
Just as the sun was about to set, a few Knight appeared on the road in front of the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city stopped them and asked them to show their identity documents. The Knight in the lead was a middle-aged man with short hair and deep eyes. He silently took out a coat of arms from his coat and threw it at the soldier. "You won't know this. Give it to your captain."
The soldier went to do it doubtfully. A moment later, the captain of the city guards trotted over and respectfully presented the coat of arms with both hands. "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly. "Smart. Let's go. Take us to see the lord of Tiger Shark Harbor."
"Yes, please follow me."
In Dusk Castle, a seductive gasp could be heard from Birgan's bedroom. When the old butler brought the strangers who had entered the city at dusk to the bedroom door, he was extremely embarrassed, but he had no choice but to say, "Sir, a guest wishes to see you."
The butler shouted three times before Birgan's impatient time sounded, "Can't you see I'm busy? Let's talk about it later. "
The butler made a helpless expression to the guest. The middle-aged man gestured, and a man behind him immediately rushed forward. The man raised his leg and kicked the door open. Then, he stood by the side and gestured for the leader to come in. When the middle-aged man walked in, he happened to see Birgan fighting a few women on the bed. As soon as the door was blown open, the women screamed. Billy Gambi pulled a blanket around his waist and jumped out of bed. He pointed at the middle-aged man and said angrily, "Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you mess around here? Get out of here! "
"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, my lord." The middle-aged man grabbed Birgan's finger and pulled it down.
Birgan's expression changed. In order to prevent his finger from being pulled down, he squatted down and shouted, "Let go of me, bastard! You dare attack the count? You're dead! Ah … "
Before he could finish speaking, he was replaced by a scream. The middle-aged man kicked him in the waist and ribs. The strength was exquisite, causing him pain, but it wasn't a big deal. With just one kick, Birgan was drenched in cold sweat and his muscles twitched. The middle-aged man frowned. Although this kick was used to torture prisoners, Birgan was too weak for an Earl. He let go of the count and squatted down. "Now we can probably talk. Count Birgan, right? My name is Seville. Of course, you can call me Searle. In fact, that's what everyone who knows me calls me. Believe me, it's no good going against me. Too many people have used their lives to verify this. And don't think that an Earl's identity can do anything to me, because I'm on the king's orders to come to your land on business. You'd better cooperate with me. Otherwise, as long as the king says the word, Tiger Shark Harbor can change its lord at any time. And I think there are plenty of people who would be happy to sit in your position. "
He looked up at the bed and smiled. "I'd be willing if it were me."
The middle-aged man picked Birgan up like a harmless rabbit. "Now I'll give you a minute to put on your clothes and come to the living room, unless you want to talk about business in front of these women."
Birgan nodded repeatedly. After the other party walked out, he was very disappointed and depressed. Looking at the women staring at him in shock, he couldn't help but feel angry. He shouted, "What are you waiting for? Help me put on my clothes. We only have fifty seconds. Damn it!"
Searle and his men were drinking black tea in the living room. A moment later, Birgan came. Seeing Searle's ugly expression, he forced a smile and said, "What do you need me to do?"
"Look, if you said that earlier, we would have saved a lot of effort." Searle smiled and said, "According to the information we have, some traitors who are against the king have sneaked into the territory under your jurisdiction."
Birgan's expression changed as he cried out, "Is there such a thing?"
"Don't be nervous. As long as you cooperate with me, His Majesty the King won't argue with you. Otherwise, Sir Count would be guilty of harboring a criminal, or even an accomplice. "
Bill didn't even dare to let out a fart when this hat was put on him. He smiled bitterly and said, "What exactly is Mr. Searle's action?"
"First, I need you to shut down the operations of the port. From this moment on, no ship is allowed to leave the port until I think I can revoke this order. "
Birgan immediately jumped up. "How can that be! The merchant ships at the port come and go every day. If the port is shut down, won't they tear down the ceiling of my castle? "
